Our Story

Discover the heritage and passion behind Kamla Homestay

Kamla Homestay Building

Welcome to Kamla Homestay

Founded in 2010, Kamla Homestay was born from our family's desire to share the authentic experience of Varanasi with travelers from around the world. What began as a small family guesthouse has grown into a beloved homestay known for its warm hospitality and attention to detail.

Our property, a beautifully restored heritage building near Assi Ghat, combines traditional Banarasi architecture with modern comforts. Every corner of Kamla Homestay tells a story - from the handcrafted furniture made by local artisans to the family recipes served at breakfast.

Our Philosophy

At Kamla Homestay, we believe travel should be transformative. We don't just provide a place to sleep - we offer a gateway to understanding Varanasi's rich culture. Our team is dedicated to creating meaningful experiences that connect guests with the soul of the city, whether through guided heritage walks, cooking classes, or simply sharing stories over chai in our courtyard.

Experience Varanasi Like a Local

Unlike commercial hotels, we pride ourselves on offering personalized experiences. Our small size allows us to focus on each guest's needs, whether you're here for spiritual exploration, cultural immersion, or simply to unwind by the Ganges.

We've carefully curated relationships with local experts - from boatmen who can take you to hidden ghats at sunrise to textile masters who will show you the ancient art of Banarasi silk weaving. These authentic connections are what make a stay at Kamla Homestay truly special.
